Subject: [PATCH 00/11] platform/chrome: Kunit tests and refactor for cros_ec_cmd_xfer()

The first 5 patches add Kunit tests and refactors for cros_ec_cmd_xfer().

The last 6 patches change the behavior a bit by altering return codes.

Asynchronous mechanism in EC protocol:
EC returns EC_RES_IN_PROGRESS if the host command needs more time to complete.
It saves the result into `saved_result` once the command completed[1].

By design, AP should send another command EC_CMD_RESEND_RESPONSE for getting
the result from the previous pending command[2].  The mechanism was only
designed for commands that don't need responses[3].

However, the kernel code doesn't have such logic when dealing with
EC_RES_IN_PROGRESS.

The series doesn't fix it but leave it as is.  I doubt there is no existing
use case.

Return value overridden in cros_ec_send_command() if asynchronous:
By original intention, cros_ec_send_command() returns number of available
bytes of input payload.

When it falls into asynchronous path (i.e. EC_RES_IN_PROGRESS), both return
value and `msg->result` will be overridden by the subsequent
EC_CMD_GET_COMMS_STATUS.

The series doesn't fix it but leave it as is.

    cros_ec_send_command()
  platform/chrome: cros_ec_proto: separate cros_ec_xfer_command()
  platform/chrome: cros_ec_proto: separate cros_ec_wait_until_complete()
  platform/chrome: cros_ec_proto: change Kunit expectation when timed
    out
